So, because Mom wasn't eating right (which meant she wasn't taking her insulin regularly) while she had Covid and somehow got a UTI, she ended up going into diabetic ketoacidosis. Her blood sugar was 900 when we got her to the ER. They don't have an ICU at that hospital so she's being...

Yeah, they are purely decorative. I'm just creating some images for a digital setup. I do D&D worldbuilding I like the corkscrew things with the wing like handles that you push down to pull the cork out. Which one did you like the best from the collage?

Over on the plumbing forums someone mentioned that there was an episode of Unsellable Houses with the late Terry Love's family. https://watch.hgtv.com/video/unsellable-houses-hgtv-atve-us/impossible-expectations Terry was a sweet man. He gave me some good plumbing advice, helped me (via advice)...

Man, my driveway is just dirt. Used to have gravel but when we came back from overseas our gravel was gone and our neighbors' driveway was filled with identical looking gravel. Not difficult to put 2&2 together on that one. Heated driveway sounds pretty cool. Rested yesterday. Tried to rest...

I went back to the store but the stuff I wanted was gone. Ended up getting some food and more throw pillows. They work for lumbar support and to appease kitties and doggies. Gave a couple to my brother since he loves pillows. He started using them right away. Before I got home I stopped at TSC...

That floor looks great! The speckled pattern is very pretty. I don't even want to know how rusty stuff is on my vehicle, but I don't live near the coast. When we lived on Guam, the vehicles were supposed to have some special undercarriage coating to protect them from the sea air. This morning...

Love the lazy susan and the railing! Hooray for new vehicles! I'm still sick. Tested negative for Covid on the home test this time around but still having symptoms. Could be a cold, could be the weather. Could be my body still needing to recover from the Covid. Stuffy/runny nose, fatigue, and...

People react in such different ways to different things. For instance: Valium is supposed to calm people and I guess it works for a lot of people but it has the opposite effect on me. It makes me jittery & agitated. I get grumpy and feel anything but relaxed. That can make it very hard for...

Asparagus is a good veggie. Sorry you're feeling sick, Rusty. Had to sleep sitting up last night so I wouldn't cough non-stop. My bladder doesn't like it when I cough. Woke up when I felt something touching my lip very lightly. Looked and it was my cat Itsy. She was barely touching my lip with...

Rusty, I hope you get feeling better. Going to the doctor in the morning with my mother and brother. We'll see how it goes and if the people there do the Covid testing properly or not.

Very nice work, Incognito and CJ! I'm still being a mucus factory. Ordered a Covid home test for curbside pickup. Went and got it and then went to the empty post office after closing (doors are left unlocked) to get mail. Got home, cooked dinner, & took the test. I don't know if I did...

My microwave was over 2cuft and had a dial and some stuff. It was great, but the magnatron crapped out in it. Trying to get a new one. Cheapest one I could find locally that wasn't complete trash was a 0.9cuft microwave for $70. Don't trust getting appliances from flea markets. Still...

I ended up not doing cleanup because I woke up sick. Brother got sick at work and brought whatever it was home with him so the rest of us are sick now. Microwave died thursday night and Panasonic was closed on Friday and all weekend. I e-mailed them. Purchased the microwave Nov 13, 2022. Watch...

Not looking forward to the water getting colder in the bidet attachment this winter. I had to adjust the thermostat manually (thanks to Youtube for a guide) so I could have auto mode on. By default, only heat, cool, and emergency heat are available in the menu. So I went through and changed it...

@highup, if you want someone to take the desk, don't put "free" on it. Put a price like "$25' or "$50". Someone will most likely snag it. I think it was the plumbing forums where someone gave that advice to a person trying to get rid of an old toilet. They initially put "free" on it but after...

It was warmer-- up to 76 today-- but I still dressed in warmer clothes. Went to Samsclub. My Pickup order wasn't ready until 3:18pm but they didn't bring it out until 4:30pm (Once I was notified that it was ready it took me an hour to get there and then I had to wait for them to bring it out). I...

The Transformers costume thing is brilliant! Looks like a good setup for working. I didn't set foot outside today. I got in some good napping. Dog kept waking me up last night and night before. He kept jumping on me while attacking cats and shadows. He's been really really grumpy and keeps...

Someone at my brother's work (an arcade) asked if anyone else was dressing up for Halloween & my brother said something like "I'm dressing up as a tired, middle-aged arcade employee praying for the sweet release of death". Customers have been pissing him off lately. On the 6th delivery day (not...

I just watched a video on how to cover ugly mitered corners using wood putty & paint. LOL. Had some interesting techniques. Apparently it is less likely to shrink than caulk. I'll have to give it a try. Mom paged me last night when I was trying to get to sleep because she was having problems...

Tom, my neighbors used to dump their trash on my property. and they would steal my trash cans. CJ, very nice work. Mr Roachie is cute. So, as I suspected, Fedex refused to deliver yesterday for the FIFTH time. I finally threw in the towel. I told Fedex to pound sand and that I was done...
